Surgery Thefts
We have made aware of surgery thefts which are taking place elsewhere in eth country and advise you and your staff to be extra vigilant. Their MO is to dress smartly, wear false ID badges and gain access to non-clinical areas. They steal purses from unattended bags and later phone in asking for the victim by name (Taken from the stolen credit/debit cards). They purport to be from the bank and illicit personal information, including the PIN from the victim and then clean out their accounts. In the past, this has always been in acute settings. However, it now looks like they are targeting health centres but are keeping contact with targets to extend the length of time they can use cards and get information.
